Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX 12.7mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

100Universal Acclaim

The Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX 12.7mm receives universal praise from advanced players, with reviewers highlighting exceptional power, control, and touch. The 12.7mm thickness is preferred over thicker alternatives for singles play, though some note the power can be so dominant that finesse shots become less appealing.

Paddletek: Got 14.3 TKO Long Handle In Blue Color on face. Hit killer overheads. Has great touch and control. Drives like a beast. Selling my 16mm Joola Pro IV's. I will never buy another 16mm paddle. Planning to buy this same paddle in the 12.7 thickness. I 'm keeping my 14 Pro Joola"s though

Best paddle for 4.5+ and pro's!: Totally amazing paddle for advanced folks. I got 14.3 shipped by mistake instead of 12.7mm. So I played with both thicknesses. I stuck to 12.7 but 14.3 is better for doubles and for more subtle dinks. I got the 8 oz and added more weight (over 9 oz.) Power off this paddle is so intoxicating that I don't want to hit any dinks!!! Perfect for singles! Please don't buy this one (less competition for me... haha).
